El Sol No Dá de Beber

Silvio Rodriguez Silvio Rodriguez

The Sun Does Not Give to Drink

In the warm shelter of two fourteen
My love song undresses
The indiscreet and clumsy day arrived
And beauty made us poorer
More slaves of the clock's round

So the few moments passed
So happiness passed
Always fleeing from others' gazes
Weaving a crazy universe
Of caresses, doubts, and complicity

Take everything from me and even more
We must fast at the edge of dawn
Take everything from me and even more
We must wait for a long no of clarity
Take everything from me that can be
The Sun does not give to drink

To the sad loves poorly born
And condemned by their rebellion
One day I will give my friend's song
And I will mix my wine with their wine
Without losing sleep over excommunication

And to those who want to incinerate my verses
Arguing an immemorial page
I will tell them the story of this adverse Sun
That goes crying through the universe
Waiting for the day it can shine

Take everything from me, drink it well
